LITA FORD has a new axe slinger in her lineup. LITA commented on new guitarist Patrick Kennison:

“Patrick Kennison is our latest and greatest addition to Team LITA! He shreds on guitar and is killer at singing backing vocals. He adds so much energy to the already thunderous sound, just another reinforcement that we will be blowing the doors off the place, and killing it in our future recordings.

We are able to bring down the house together with Marty O’Brien jamming on Bass and Bobby Rock behind us bashing the drums, together they are the best of the best musicians, Hollywood California’s finest line up. Welcome Patrick Kennison!!!”

Kennison on joining the band:

“It’s both an honor and a blast to share the studio and stage with the queen of metal...

Rock fans worldwide rejoice! Marshall Blonstein’s Audio Fidelity is releasing rock legends Scorpions most successful album “Blackout” on limited edition numbered hybrid SACD! “Blackout”, their eighth studio album, is Scorpions at their peak…it is the band’s 1982 break-through album that made them global superstars. Every song is a gem and this album contains a splendid balance of pop/rock, power ballads and catchy hard rock. Scorpions dish-out fist-poundin’ anthems like the top ten hit “No One Like You” then turn around and offer the soul stirring ballad “When the Smoke is Going Down”.

Dutch symphonic metallers, EPICA, have premiered the official music video for “Victims Of Contingency”. The video is directed by Remko Tielemans (Textures) and produced by the Kunstoff Kollectiv, the same team who were responsible for the band’s music video for “Storm The Sorrow”.

Guitarist Mark Jansen comments: “We’ve picked a heavy and brutal track this time as we wanted to surprise everybody. As “Victims Of Contingency” is also a fan-favourite, we are convinced that it is the right choice. The video for “Storm The Sorrow” has been received very well by the fans so we were very happy to work with Remko and his team again. We think the end result for “Victims Of Contingency” is astonishing and I am very excited that we can finally share this video with all of you! ”

“Sometimes you have to ponder long and hard for an album title, but following the Rana Plaza disaster of last year (collapse of a textile sweatshop building in Bangladesh), it spurred me on to try and craft an exposé of slave labour in the modern world (and the surrounding conditions propping it up).

“Some in power like to declare that slavery is consigned to the history books...
